He began to choose to wait, holding on to a glimmer of hope that Xia Linan would eventually figure it out and come to him.
However, he didn't expect that Xia Lin'an found her true love, and he missed her.
In the middle of the night, Xia Yansi suddenly woke up from his dream. He sat up from his bed, covered in cold sweat.
He dreamed that Xia Linan was leaving him, and he was left alone in the Xia family.
In the huge suite, he felt weak and powerless, and the dark night surrounded by loneliness made it difficult to breathe.
He took the phone from the bedside table and called his assistant: "Book me a one-way ticket back home, destination..."
"City B."
Xia Yansi hung up the phone, leaned back in the bed, and the light in his eyes gradually became focused.
An An, I'm going back to my country.
Can you give me a chance?
…
Fu Yiming stared at the darkened screen with a gloomy look in his eyes, wondering in his heart, who is the man who called? What is his relationship with Xia Linan?
He felt uncomfortable when he thought that the man on the other end of the phone might be related to Xia Linan’s past.
For the first time, he felt jealousy rising in his heart, gradually eating away at his whole body bit by bit, gnawing at him so hard that it hurt.
When Xia Lin'an woke up, it was already night.
Night has fallen and the temperature in the room seems a little low.
Suddenly, a magnetic voice sounded in my ears: "Awake?"
Xia Lin'an looked over and saw Fu Yiming sitting on a chair, staring at her without blinking.
Xia Linan sat up and asked blankly, "How long have I been sleeping? When did you come over?"
This afternoon, Xia Linan was in a daze and fell asleep without knowing when.
Fu Yiming reached out and felt the temperature of Xia Lin'an's hand, then took a shawl and covered Xia Lin'an's shoulders.
"It's almost winter, and the nights are cold. Be careful not to catch a cold."
"Um."
Xia Lin'an held Fu Yiming's big hand and felt very warm.
Fu Yiming had already completed the discharge procedures for Xia Lin'an. He held Xia Lin'an in his arms as they walked out of the hospital, his tall body shielding her from the cold wind.
After getting in the car, Xia Linan asked, "Are we going home now?"
"No, let's go pick up Ye Shuo first." Fu Yiming said.
Xia Linan was stunned, "Xiao Shuo?"
Fu Yiming held Xia Lin'an's hand in his palm and said calmly, "Don't think too much. Ye Ruohuan has been busy with her drawings recently and can't take care of him. I just want to pay more attention to the child. There is no other intention."
Xia Lin'an was shocked. She didn't expect Fu Yiming to explain to her.
In fact, Fu Yiming didn't need any explanation, she could understand.
After all, Fu Yiming had such a good relationship with Ye Shuo before.
Xia Linan hummed softly.
Fifteen minutes later, they arrived downstairs of Ye Ruohuan's house.
Ye Ruohuan and Ye Shuo were already waiting downstairs. When they saw Fu Yiming's car, Ye Shuo immediately ran over.
“Uncle Fu!”
Fu Yiming got out of the car, picked up Ye Shuo who rushed over, weighed him in his hands for a few times, and said in a deep voice: "Boy, have you gained weight?"
"No way." Ye Shuo covered his face and retorted.
Xia Linan was sitting in the car and saw this scene and laughed.
Ye Ruohuan came over, put Ye Shuo's luggage in the car, and then said to Xia Linan: "Thank you for your help these days."
Xia Linan patted his chest and said, "It's okay, I just happen to be free. Don't worry, Xiaoye, I will take good care of Xiaoxiaoye."
At this time, Fu Yiming carried Ye Shuo into the car. Ye Shuo saw there was another woman in the car and found out that it was Xia Linan, whom he had not seen for a long time.
"Aunt Xia?" Ye Shuo asked.
Xia Linan's face darkened. She stretched out her hand and pinched Ye Shuo's chubby face a few times, gritted her teeth and said, "Call me sister!"
"Auntie!" Ye Shuo stuck out his tongue mischievously and called out again.
Xia Linan's face was full of energy. She gritted her teeth and said, "Call me sister, sister!"
She half-stuck out from the front, held Ye Shuo in her arms and "severely" scolded him. While scolding Ye Shuo, she taught him: "I am about the same age as your sister, you should call me Sister Lin An!"
However, Ye Shuo seemed to be teasing her on purpose and shouted, "Aunt Lin An——"
Xia Linan yelled, "How dare you!"
Ye Ruohuan watched them playing outside the car, then turned to Fu Yiming and said, "It may be hard for you to take care of the two children."
Fu Yiming smiled slightly, and it can be seen from his eyes that he is very happy at the moment.
He stretched out his big hand and patted Ye Shuo on the head, "Sit down."
Xia Linan immediately let go of Ye Shuo and looked at him smugly, as if to say, see, my man still dotes on me the most.
Ye Shuo was speechless. He sat obediently in the back, rolled down the window, and waved goodbye to Ye Ruohuan.
After returning to Fu Yiming's villa, Ye Shuo felt like he was liberated. He jumped and played happily everywhere.
Xia Linan sat listlessly on the sofa, looking at the lively Ye Shuo with great envy.
She murmured, "It would be great if I had the strength to jump around when I'm old. I would definitely be the envy of others..."
Fu Yiming heard her murmurs and suddenly laughed.
He walked over and said to Xia Linan, "The hot water is ready. You can take a bath."
"Yeah." Xia Lin'an responded, but still sat on the sofa motionless.
She blinked at Fu Yiming a few times.
Fu Yiming coughed and looked at Ye Shuo who was immersed in the game. He leaned over and asked, "Do you want me to carry you up?"
Xia Linan blinked a few times again, and his eyes seemed to be flashing, the meaning was self-evident.
Fu Yiming choked, glanced at Ye Shuo in the corner of the living room, then picked up Xia Linan and went upstairs.
Ye Shuo suddenly felt something was wrong. He subconsciously looked behind him and found that Fu Yiming was carrying Xia Linan upstairs.
He covered his eyes and shouted, "Pay attention! There are children here!"
Xia Lin'an looked over Fu Yiming's shoulder and saw Ye Shuo covering his face with his five fingers open, his eyes glancing over here.
The corners of her mouth twitched, and when she saw his smirking expression, her ears turned red for no apparent reason, so she shouted, "Not suitable for children! Turn around!"
Ye Shuo refused to listen. He simply put his hand down, made a face at Xia Linan, and said, "You old man have no shame~"
Xia Lin'an took a deep breath, his eyes turned fierce, and he stared at Ye Shuo.
Xia Linan looks much cuter like this.
Fu Yiming suddenly chuckled, lowered his head and met Xia Lin'an's protesting gaze, with a smile still on his lips.
Fu Yiming carried Xia Linan into the bathroom, and Xia Linan said "thank you".
Fu Yiming looked at the woman in the mirror, his eyes darkened. He reached out and held Xia Linan in front of him. His thin lips were close to her ears, and he opened his mouth slightly, teasing, "Do you want me to help you wash?"
An ambiguous atmosphere circulated between the two of them. Xia Linan's ears turned even redder and he looked very sexy.
